Is VAT payable on importing this bike?

Hi Ask carzone, I am buying a motorcycle from a dealer in Northern Ireland and importing to the south, the motorcycle in question is a 2018 Ducati scrambler 803 cc with 500 miles on the clock since it was first registered in Northern Ireland in 2018 , can you please tell me if VAT and VRT is applied on import or is it exempt from VAT and only liable for VRT on import, kind regards Martin.

Our answer:

Hi Martin,

No VAT will be payable.
